AppGameKit – closing date looms for our two competitions

A quick reminder that the closing date for the two competitions for AppGameKit users are coming up soon:

 

1. The Driving Test themed games competition - $1,000 to be won

 

 

 

TheGameCreators judges are looking for a fun, casual game that helps UK learner drivers expand their knowledge of car driving. Games should aim to satisfy these points:

  • Be a simple and fun casual game
  • The game must be played in portrait mode
  • A game session should only last a few minutes
  • It ideally should feature an online leader board
  • The game should work flawlessly on any aspect ratio of device
  • The game should aim to teach something about any of these subjects: UK Theory Test, Hazard Perception, Road Signs and/or The Highway Code.

The competition runs through to the 31st August 2017. The winner will be announced on the 20th September 2017.
